Bravo! West Indies won't walk this time around

Thu, Nov 6, '14

West Indian ODI captain Dwayne Bravo, the man who led the West Indies' walkout in India last month, will turn out for the Dolphins in the Ram Slam T20 this month.

And he has given his assurance that there will be no repeat of the Indian fiasco with the West Indies tour to this country later this year.

Speaking upon his arrival yesterday, Bravo said a full-strength West Indian team across all formats would tour South Africa next month.

The West Indies were still due to play an ODI and three Tests in India when they aborted the tour because of a pay dispute with the West Indies Player Association and the West Indian Cricket Board.

Four of the five West Indian players taking part in the Ram Slam T20 would have been part of the Test side, with Bravo aiming to keep himself fresh for next year's World Cup, and Darren Sammy having retired from Test cricket.
